To power the AV42s, you need to connect the left speaker into the mains which has a 20watt per channel amp.

With the M-Audio AV42, you can use the wave guides to help direct the high-end frequencies coming out of the tweeters to create the sweet spot you like. Play around with different monitor heights when you are fine-tuning the directions to set the wave guides until you find a spot that is “just right” as Goldilocks would say.This stops unwanted resonance that could create frequencies that might otherwise make a muddy-sounding bass. In terms of connectivity, M-Audio is guessing you’re likely to plug in from your mobile device, laptop or phone.
